The Bears had 674 points while Vestavia Hills (Alabama) was third with 657 points. Shawnee, Oklahoma finished fourth with 655 points and Jesuit was fifth with 618 points.
The Crusaders were led by heavyweight Ross Brister, who was named as recipient of the Trey Culotta Memorial award, winning at 285 pounds.
